So, is this relationship already doomed to fail? Has my ex changed?

Q.   Has my ex changed? I broke up with my emotionally abusive ex a year ago, and just talked to him for the first time yesterday. He said he has been seeing a girl, but that it wasn't serious (yet he had sex with her) and that he stil missed me and ...

A.   12 October 2008: Ultimately, yes, I think it's doomed to fail. You clearly don't see eye to eye on things and he is not willing to change not talking about things - the reason you give for breaking up in the first place. I think wanting to get back with him is just ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi everyone, I am having suspicions that my girlfriend is cheating on me. I have been having these suspicions for quite a while now, and recently took action to see if anything was going on. The other night as we were asleep in bed I secretly placed ...

A.   10 October 2008: What are you smoking?!?! How would a HAIR still be there?!?!? I'm assuming she actually moves around and showers when I say this of course. Of all the STUPID things I have read on Dear Cupid over the years, this HAS to be the stupidest. Pleas... (read in full...)

Should I tell her I've been recording our conversations?

Q.   recently ive been recording me and my girls conversations without her knowing. i do this so i can play them back later and analyze what she said. should i tell her about this or would that seem sketchy?...

A.   9 June 2008: That is weird. I would advise you to seek help as this is not normal behaviour, but rather the behaviour of an irrational control freak. That aside, just STOP recording your conversations and dont tell her - she will freak.... (read in full...)

Q.   for the past two weeks myself and lover have been waking at the same time everyday, we have a child together but don't live together as he is now married, could the waking at the same time be coincidence or a sign that we should be together, we have ...

A.   9 June 2008: I think you are clutching at straws here. Read what you have written - it comes across this end that you are desperate for this guy, but the truth is he doesn't want to know. If he truly wanted you and you alone he wouldn't still be with him wife ... (read in full...)

A.   7 June 2008: Well, you decided you were old enough to have sex, so surely you are old enough to know that you need to tell your parents. Their reaction is likely to be one of bitter disappointment and anger, but that's the consequences of having unprotected sex ... (read in full...)

A.   5 June 2008: You're probably just gonna have to control yourself till it's done. I won't touch my girlfriend sexually while she's on her period - it's just not nice. It's a personal preferance thing, and if he doesn't wanna do it he probably wont budge. ... (read in full...)

Once we were inseparable, how did it turn out to be this bad in the end?

Q.   Oke.. I broke up with my boyfriend a couple of weeks ago.. We have decided to stay friends.. but he just isn't being a good friend.. Whenever he calls me.. He normally talks about sex.. and sometimes even wants me to "talk dirty" with him, ...

A.   5 June 2008: Well it sounds like he is still obsessed - but in his own personal pleasure, not you. The honest truth is he has turned out this way because you let him. He wants you to talk dirty and you do it, he wants to talk about sex and you do it. Don't you ... (read in full...)

A.   2 June 2008: You must end it, as you're stringing him along. Tell him that after breaking up with someone you just aren't ready for a relationship with someone else yet. If you haven't been going out long, he should begrudingly let you go.... (read in full...)

A.   2 June 2008: Tell him what you said here. You're not ready for sex again in the short term future, and his talking about sex all the time is making it seem like that's all he's in it for. If he can't accept that, then you will know that you were just a piece of ... (read in full...)

A.   2 June 2008: No, actually this is the stupidest idea I have ever heard. How could you 'handle it' as you put it? Do you have the money to give the child the best possible quality of life - NO, will you be able to look after it properly - NO, because you'll be at ... (read in full...)

A.   28 May 2008: He looks at other girls and you are scared he will leave you? Doesn't sound from that like you trust him at all, but what I would say is this: just let this fear go - it will consume you and ruin the relationship otherwise. Good luck.... (read in full...)

A.   28 May 2008: Talk to him while you're doing it - not too much though, don't bug him - just stuff like "hows that" etc. I'm sure he won't be too disappointed though as long as you keep your teeth out of the way. lol. ... (read in full...)

A.   28 May 2008: Agree with LazyGuy, here. You stopped caring for your husband and now he has stopped caring for you. I mean, if a guy is gonna cheat on his wife, do you really believe he is trustworthy? This was a good test of how much he cared - it came down to ... (read in full...)

He hasn't spoken to me since I brought home a new kitten! Was I wrong?

Q.   So my relationship with my boyfriend has been dodgy for some time. We have been together 10 years. He's away a lot on business so our time together is really limited. To cut it as short as possible, I am an animal lover and would give any creatur...

A.   28 May 2008: Well, I think it is a little over the top since he doesn't live with you. Perhaps he was waiting until you had a couple less pets (is he a pet person?) before asking you to move in with him, and you kinda crushed his plan. Either way, it is a little ... (read in full...)

Is it really easier for a guy to stop thinking of his ex?

Q.   do men really just move on or is it just a front. is he going throught the same hurt and sadness that i am going throught, why do men make it seem so easy to move on after a break up. And how do i move on when all i can do is think about he and that ...

A.   28 May 2008: Perhaps men do a better job than women of just saying to themselves, "look, it's over, forget it". After all, once the door has been slammed once, it's never really the same again is it. But everyone has emotions, and maybe you need to analyse the ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi, I'm 20 years old and have been seeing my girlfriend of the same age for about 9 months now. We met each other at our 'home' town but we study at different universities so it is effectively a 'long-distance relationship' most of the time. Over ...

A.   16 June 2007: To be honest, this will eat away at you for 9 months if you dont do it. Phone her about it. It's not the nicest thing to do by phone, but then again its not great to have to read about being cheated on in an email either. If she cheated before and ... (read in full...)

A.   25 May 2007: I think it's about time you grew up and started realising what is important. Perhaps you should think about actually working on your current relationship and looking after your kids as opposed to hopping into bed with this guy. It is clear from the ... (read in full...)

Neighbor is wanting to call the police as his kid looked in our window, and saw us having sex! I think you should be able to do what you want in your own home! Any views?

Q.   My neighbour has threatened to call the police as his 11 year old son saw my partner and I having sex in our living room. he also says it is illegal to walk around naked. The boy must have been in our back garden looking in the window so surley h...

A.   25 May 2007: no, you shouldnt be worried. what can he possibly do? two people having sex in their own home is hardly illegal is it? if it was then everybody would be getting arrested! i think the more logical solution is to teach his son that it is rude to look ... (read in full...)

A.   22 May 2007: Sorry to hear you're heartbroken, but it was very unfair of you to put him on the spot like that. Of course he doesnt truly LOVE you yet, it has only been a month. He probably wasn't even thinking about it. In the early stages of a relationship, it ... (read in full...)

A.   28 February 2007: Although I do think it is too soon, as the two people cannot possibly truly know each other yet and have not lived together - if the two people think it is right, then there is not alot else that anyone can do. They are both adults after all. What I ... (read in full...)

A.   17 February 2007: I think having a treesome would just make the situation worse. It is just his fantasy to have two ex's pleasuring him at the same time. As far as I am concerned, you see this as your chance to get back with him, when he doesn't have any interest in ... (read in full...)
